Grasshopper, Mainsoft EE

2008-09-26 Thread Kittendorf, Craig X.
Hi,
Anyone using Mainsoft Grasshopper or Mainsoft Enterprise Edition to port
.NET applications to JAVA for use with Websphere Application Server,
Tomcat, Resin, etc?

What has been your experience as to ease, successful conversion rate,
etc?  Do you do a one-time conversion then all new apps are in JAVA? Or
do you continue to write .Net and convert?

Thanks,
Craig

What doesn't the mono environment provide to enable the apps to run? Or is
it a case of WAS not knowing how to run them?

This topic just came up.  I did note that the Mainsoft is collaborating
on the Mono project and I need to read up on it.  The following is from
the Mainsoft site:
-
What are the major differences between Mainsoft for Java EE and Mono? 
There are three primary differences between Mainsoft for Java EE and
Mono: 

Mainsoft's runtime strategy is based on Java EE and proven enterprise
quality and platform availability. Mono implements its own .NET
execution engine, the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), on several
Linux and UNIX-based platforms. 

Mainsoft for Java EE focuses exclusively on Web and server applications,
while Mono also supports desktop applications, with Gtk# and
Windows.Forms. 

Mainsoft for Java EE is fully integrated into the Visual Studio IDE
whereas Mono uses its own IDE.

Thanks for the reply,
Craig

The .NET developer can do the development using Visual Studio and then transfer 
the bytecode to Mono on Linux.  Mono has been running on Linux on System z for 
several revs and the latest version 1.9.1 has support for:

ASP.NET 1.1  2.0
 Web Forms  Web Services
 Support for ASP.NET AJAX
ADO.NET 1.1  2.0
   SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL
   Sybase, MySQL, DB2, SQLite, etc
Win Forms 1.1  2.0 
C# 1.0, 2.0, 3.0
GTK#
